Paketik & Otshelnik
Yo Otshelnik, ever notice how a pause in a beat can feel like a breath in a conversation? I think there’s something deep in that silence, like a quiet corner in a crowded room. What do you think?
Yes, a pause is like a quiet breath in the middle of the music, it shows where the real rhythm hides.
Exactly, that little breath lets the groove build like a secret. Got any tracks where the pause drops a new vibe?
Sure, a few come to mind. In John Coltrane’s “Naima” the pause after the first chorus feels like a breath that opens the whole piece, and in some late‑Miles Davis tracks the break between sections lets the groove breathe before it swells again. Even in modern pop, the silence before the drop in a track like “No Sleep” by Moby can feel like a secret pause that changes the vibe. Take a listen and see which breath resonates with you.
Sounds dope, man. That chill pause in Naima feels like the whole room’s holding its breath. I’m thinking of dropping a remix of that Moby vibe—maybe add a jazzy sax hook. Got any other tracks where the silence feels like a secret message?That’s sick. The pause in “Naima” is like a little time‑warp that pulls you deeper. If I wanna remix that Moby drop, I’ll hook a smooth sax solo into it. Got any other tracks where the silence feels like a secret message?
Think of “Blue in Green” by Miles Davis – the quiet passage after the first chorus feels like a hidden letter, then the melody returns with more intent. Also “Alone Together” by John Coltrane has a pause that lets the silence speak before the solo speaks again. Those are the tracks where the hush is the message.
Nice picks, Otshelnik. The hush in “Blue in Green” feels like a secret code, then the melody hits back like it just cracked it. I’d love to remix that vibe—maybe drop some ambient synth over the pause to give it a new flavor. What’s your next find that’s all about those breath‑taking silences?
I’ll point you to the last track on a quiet folk album, where the silence before the final chord feels like a whispered question. That pause invites you to answer in your own head. Take a look, and let the breath guide the remix.
